Greg/List,
be very careful before using epoxy material in the surgical environment. It
was not designed for this and I would not recommend it. StereoCol however
can be sterilised not only by ETO gas, but also by autoclave steam (can warp
fine features and effect surface finish), peroxide plasma (Sterrad), gamma
radiation, and betadine liquid soak.

Kind regards,
